Pohutukawa wooden bowl No717
$390.00
In stock
This medium-sized pohutukawa bowl is shaped with a flowing internal curve and a gently rounded base, creating a rocking-bowl form. With no foot to anchor it, the bowl settles naturally into place and moves subtly when touched — yet remains stable and reassuring in use. The more weight it holds, the steadier it becomes.
A small repair has been filled with an old-gold resin, adding a quiet highlight that complements the warm tones of the pohutukawa. Finished with a food-safe oil and wax blend, this is a functional, beautifully balanced wooden bowl designed for everyday serving or display.

Functional Rating?
The Functional Rating runs from 1 to 5 and is my way of giving you an idea of how practical a bowl or platter is for everyday use.
Each piece sits somewhere on this scale depending on factors such as the type of wood, the smoothness and easy clean finish of the interior surface, or whether it features artistic elements like natural voids or inclusions.
1 – Display Piece Only
Solely suitable as an art or display piece. May be delicate or has features that make it unsuitable for kitchen use.
2 – Lightly Functional
Can hold large dry items such as fruit or bread, but may have large voids or other inclusions.
3 – Moderately Functional
Good for fruit or leafy salads. May include some natural voids but remains robust overall.
4 – Highly Functional
Ideal for daily salads or general serving. Water-tight but may be finely turned or have a natural edge.
5 – Fully Functional
Suitable for nearly everything, including hot foods. These are the workhorses — strong, durable, and ready for everyday use.
